Blue Screen of Death Issues
Hi everyone im having issues involving the blue screen of death. I just built a computer for a customer and i have to get a certain score on 3DMark. The computer turns on and i can run 3DMark. Whenever i get to 5 seconds on the 3rd benchmark it blue screens. I have not been able to find as soulutions as i looked it up on google. None of the images matched the blue screen i have. And i cant find any fixes to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have checked multiple Guides on the issue but i must have missed the one im dealing with. Im going to look around more for and ill reply back if i still cant find it

I've already repeated this at least a few dozen times in almost every time a BSOD post comes up.. I should start saving this in a notepad as "pre-recorded BSOD response" and just paste it, I might do that. But anyway:

Either your cpu is overheating, your gpu is overheating, or your power supply isn't enough. One of these factors is effecting it. Because if all of these was right, you wouldn't get a BSOD in PCBS.

Fix thermals by adding more fans to the case. Put a fan in every possible fan slot, make sure they're the highest CFM possible. Then install and run the OCCT software in infinte mode, wait for the power load to build up and watch the power draw and see where it's leveling out at then check if your power supply is enough. Or if it's not enough, you'll probably crash before you even figure out what the maximum draw is.

This is pretty much basic computer building. In real life if your power supply isn't strong enough then your computer will bluescreen/crash/shut off when you run 3dmark or any game, just like PCBS.

If you're not overclocking, your CPU and video card should be well under < 80c at all times for stock. If you have either one getting close to or past 80c, then you don't have enough fans, add more fans.

Did you remember thermal paste under the cpu heatsink/water block?

There's some varible that you missed somewhere.

Try searching first next time, quite a lot of threads already exist that are discussing this and explaining why this happens. I'm sure you can find your answer in there somewhere.

Also click on the "Guides" tab right above this thread in steam and there is a blue screen guide on the very first page of the guides posted for this game that explains it as well. Your answer is already there, go spend a little time and read about it.

The short summary though is this: You didn't build the computer correctly.

After changing the original case fan with a better one it finally worked. I appreciate the help you have given me here
Thanks
